The Board finds that the overpayment of VRAP benefits in the amount of $4,639.87 for the period from February 7, 2013, to May 5, 2013, was not validly created and grants the Veteran's claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is a relative equipoise in the evidence regarding whether the Veteran dropped below full-time status during the semester beginning on January 7, 2013, and ending on May 5, 2013, which led to the overpayment. The reasonable doubt created by this equipoise must be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
